Cap and Trade: A License Required for your Home
We encourage you to read the provisions of the Cap and Trade Bill that has passed the House of Representatives and being considered by the Senate. We are ready to join the next march on Washington!
This Congress and whoever on their staffs that write this junk are truly out to destroy the middle class of the USA....
A License Required for your house
Thinking about selling your house - A look at H.R. 2454 (Cap and trade bill) This is unbelievable!
Only the beginning from this administration! Home owners take note & tell your friends and relatives who are home owners!
Beginning 1 year after enactment of the Cap and Trade Act, you won't be able to sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with the energy and water efficiency standards of this Act. H.R. 2454, the "Cap & Trade" bill passed by the House of Representatives, if also passed by the Senate, will be the largest tax increase any of us has ever experienced.
The Congressional Budget Office (supposedly non-partisan) estimates that in just a few years the average cost to every family of four will be $6,800 per year.
However, once the lower classes feel the pinch in their wallets, you can be sure these voters get a tax refund (even if they pay no taxes at all) to offset this new cost. Thus, you Mr. and Mrs. Middle Class America will have to pay even more since additional tax dollars will be needed to bail out everyone else.
But wait. This awful bill (that no one in Congress has actually read) has many more surprises in it. Probably the worst one is this:
The caveat is (there always is a caveat) that if you have enough money to make required major upgrades to your home, then you can sell it. But, if not, then forget it. Even pre-fabricated homes ("mobile homes") are included.
The EPA administrator, appointed by the President, will run the Cap & Trade program (AKA the "American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009") and is authorized to make any future changes to the regulations and standards he alone determines to be in the government's best interest. Requirements are set low initial y so the bill will pass Congress; then the Administrator can set much tougher new standards every year.
Sect. 202:
Building Retrofit Program mandates a national retrofit program to increase the energy efficiency of all existing homes across America .
Beginning 1 year after enactment of the Act, you won't be able to sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with the energy and water efficiency standards of this Act.
You had better sell soon, because the standards will be raised each year and will be really hard (i.e., ex$pen$ive) to meet in a few years. Oh, goody! The Act allows the government to give you a grant of several thousand dollars to comply with the retrofit program requirements if you meet certain energy efficiency levels. But, wait, the State can set additional requirements on who qualifies to receive the grants.
You should expect requirements such as "can't have an income of more than $50K per year", "home selling price can't be more than $125K", or anything else to target the upper middle class (and that's YOU) and prevent them from qualifying for the grants.
Most of us won't get a dime and will have to pay the entire cost of the retrofit out of our own pockets. More transfer of wealth, more "change you can believe in."
Sect. 204:
Building Energy Performance Labeling Program establishes a labeling program that for each individual residence will identify the achieved energy efficiency performance for "at least 90 percent of the residential market within 5 years after the date of the enactment of this Act."
This means that within 5 years 90% of all residential homes in the U.S. must be measured and labeled. The EPA administrator will get $50M each year to enforce the labeling program. The Secretary of the Department of Energy will get an additional $20M each year to help enforce the labeling program. Some of this money will, of course, be spent on coming up with tougher standards each year.
Oh, the label will be like a license for your car. You will be required to post the label in a conspicuous location in your home and will not be allowed to sell your home without having this label.
And, just like your car license, you will probably be required to get a new label every so often - maybe every year.
But, the government estimates the cost of measuring the energy efficiency of your home should only cost about $200 each time.
Remember what they said about the auto smog inspections when they first started: that in California it would only cost $15. That was when the program started. Now the cost is about $50 for the inspection and certificate; a 333% increase. Expect the same from the home labeling program.
Sect. 304:
Greater Energy Efficiency in Building Codes establishes new energy efficiency guidelines for the National Building Code and mandates at 304(d), Application of National Code to State and Local Jurisdictions, that 1 year after enactment of this Act, all state and local jurisdictions must adopt the National Building Code energy efficiency provisions or must obtain a certification from the federal government that their state and/or local codes have been brought into full compliance with the National Building Code energy efficiency standards.

A License Required for your HOUSE?
If you own your home you really need to check this out. At the end of this email is the Google link to verify. If the country thinks the housing market is depressed now, wait until everyone sees this. No one will be buying homes in the future.
We encourage you to read the provisions of the Cap and Trade Bill that has passed the House of Representatives and are being considered by the Senate. We are ready to join the next march on Washington ! This Congress and their "experts" are truly out to destroy the middle class of the U.S.A.
A License will be required for your house...no longer just for cars and mobile homes....Thinking about selling your house? Take a look at H.R.2454 (Cap and Trade bill). This is unbelievable! Home owners take note and tell your friends and relatives who are home owners!
Beginning one year after enactment of the Cap and Trade Act, you won't be able to sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with the energy and water efficiency standards of this "Cap & Trade" bill, passed by the House of Representatives.

Thus, you Mr. And Mrs. Middle Class have to pay even more since additional tax dollars will be needed to bail out everyone else..
But wait. This awful bill (that no one in Congress has actually read) has many more surprises in it. Probably the worst one is this: A year from now you won't be able to sell your house without some bureaucrat's OK. Yes, you read that right.
The caveat (there always is a caveat) is that if you have enough money to make required major upgrades to your home, then you can sell it. But, if not, then forget it. Even pre-fabricated homes ("mobile homes") are included. In effect, this bill prevents you from selling your home without the permission of the EPA administrator.
To get this permission, you will have to have the energy efficiency of your home measured. Then the government will tell you what your new energy efficiency requirement is and you will be required to make modifications to your home under the retrofit provisions of this Act, to comply with the new energy and water efficiency requirements.
Then you will have to get your home measured again and get a license (called a "label" in the Act) that must be posted on your property to show what your efficiency rating is; sort of like the Energy Star efficiency rating label on your refrigerator or air conditioner. If you don't get a high enough rating, you can't sell.
And, the EPA administrator is authorized to raise the standards every year, even above the automatic energy efficiency increases built into the Act. The EPA administrator, appointed by the President, will run the Cap & Trade program (AKA the "American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009") and is authorized to make any future changes to the regulations and standards he/she alone determines to be in the government's best interest.
Requirements are set low initially so the bill will pass Congress. Then the Administrator can set new standards every year.
The Act itself contains annual required increases in energy efficiency for private and commercial residences and buildings. However, the EPA administrator can set higher standards at any time. Sect. 202 - Building Retrofit Program mandates a national retrofit program to increase the energy efficiency of all existing homes across America.
Beginning one year after enactment of the Act, you won't be able to sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with its energy and water efficiency standards.

[MedicalConspiracies] wow - a license to sell or own your own home - proposed in US Congress
Home Ownership a mere Illusion ?
the dream of home ownership to fade with new government intrusive nightmare
Wow - below are two messages from pen pals addressing the incredibly bizarre and frankly dangerous proposal concerning home ownership and sales all tied to faux energy 'improvement' ideas and the corporate sweet heart 'cap and trade' myth and scam
Sorry - I realize this is too long but try to read most and share
But, his is insane and very dangerous to individuals and the weakened US economy
Trust me
I already know - for in St Louis county, Missouri - you have no rights already - and good luck trying to find a lawyer to defend your rights or to get the media to care - they don't and won't risk their own hides or fat paychecks or homes or kids
And tragically, this is going on all over and growing - people are losing their home and their jobs and their family farms and small business - and their rights
NOTE
that is not commie nor Dem no Repub - that is fascism
Note - massive profits were made from the 'cold war', and war on drugs and war on terrorism, and war in Vietnam and Kosova, and Iraq and Afghanistan
And banks have made millions off of drug trade and money laundering and Homeland security projects and faux vaccine and swine flu , Avian flu and West Nile and SARS orchestrated scares
Pharmaceuticals have been granted immunity for their vaccines , their drugs, and for their lack of studies or staged studies or faked studies
We have both political parties staging fake press conferences, mass media 'news men' reading issued talking points and reading political party's or politician's or corporate press releases - as real vetted news items; we have illegally credentialed fake newsman ex porn stars reporting form the White house; we have fake staged news videos; and we have a Pentagon office of disinfo and propaganda aimed at the US and domestic consumption and influence
We have preachers and Evangelists and ministers admitting taking bribes to tailor their sermons and preach propaganda
We have pols and cops and media hiding organized pedophilia among priests and pols and fundraisers
so
now they want to take even more citizens' homes ?
or bleed even more from the hard to control middle class ?
The US middle class post WW 2 - a dangerous phenomenon born from the sacrifice and war worn wisdom and blood, sweat and tears of the greatest generation and its independent and relatively pampered kids
A million men enlightened by their travels and seeing the world and other cultures and awakened by the shock of war and the mismanagement of leaders and the accidents and luck and realities and cruelty and horrors of war and war depravation - and life and death adrenal rush and the joy of survival
The greatest generation - their grit and life changing experiences and with the GI bill and home loans and buoyed by their seeming victory and survival; and the temporary union strength - tho quickly destroyed after mob and govt infiltration and the subsequent smears and legal assaults - they had a decade of unparalleled productivity and freedom and shared opportunity and luxuries and hope
Sure some were siphoned off to Korea conveniently which prevented unemployment and many more kept in Japan and Germany and scattered on world wide bases and ports and ships - and millions of 'illegals' who had staffed war factories where shipped home - and tho the injured were often lost and ignored and minorities returned to the old domestic restrictions and limitations - the massive bulk had real power for the first time
The US massive manufacturing base once guaranteed the US' strength and independence and security
The US middle class voted and had time to protest and to write and read and demand more and dream of more and expect more
The US middle class was a threat to elite bankers and and corporate control
As were unions and universal education access and health care and open media and a strong fourth estate
So first a coup d'etat to kill a brave US veteran young aggressive President who was breaking up the CIA with its Nazi imports and mob ties; breaking the Fed Reserve money monopoly with Silver Certificates; struggling to avoid and resist full scale 'profitable' war expansion into Vietnam and Cuba and Turkey or East Germany, or Taiwan - and who had planned a joint US - USSR moon project to weaken the cold war rigidity; and who wanted to expand the GI bill and look at universal health care and civil rights for all
Then use the coup successor to funnel billions into the petro-chem-pharmaceutical industry with every thing from agent orange,, napalm and defoliates; and keep the war mfg base humming with trucks and ships and F4's and missiles and boots and uniforms for a 500,000 Vietnam build up and a 3-5 million man Army and 600 + Naval fleet, trillion dollar nuclear weapons and energy programs , demonize hemp replacing it with petrol product replacements -
and as citizen unrest and worker desires grew - with the guns and butter budget and a CIA out of control becoming the key drug dealer and tester and money laundering king -
you add old Nazi tricks of surveillance and infiltration and propaganda and legal harassment to destroy organized anti war or union organizing or alternative medicine or energy programs or efforts or civil rights expansion
Witness assassination and suspicious suicides and plane crashes, the polarizing events like Kent State and race riots and the growing mysterious access and menu of street drugs, and numbing prescription drugs, and pacifying fluoridation of the water supply - an old Nazi concentration camp trick
----
So jump to today
After NAFTA and the failure to pursue monopoly cases or any political accountability
With a controlled mass media in the hands of a few
Home ownership has become a myth - your home can be taxes away, seized, taken, occupied - posted , condemned , or zoned
Job security lost - mfg crippled, unions slandered and a mere shadow, right to work the rule , benefits diminishing , opportunities dwindling, education again getting out of reach at the higher levels and dumbed down at the lower levels
And now license to own or sell a house ??
and ....add budget breaking and civil right violating and unConstitutional and unchallengeable ordinances and inspections and 'improvements' which will make home ownership again a pre WW 2 dream but for the elite
now along with national medical ID, national medical database, unchecked police checkpoints and cameras .....
restricted and surveilled travel at airports, bus terminals, and train and subway stations; and cars trackable by chip; and citizen movement by credit card database review
'your papers please '
see
the Nazi's lost the war but are winning the peace ....
if you doubt this - visit me in exile in St Louis
if you doubt this - wait
they may not impact you yet
but as the old saying goes
first they came for this citizen or group
and then they come for that citizen
but not you - so do not sweat and do not protest
after all you are safe, right ?
but
remember
when they come for you or your home
there will be no one left to protest or protect you
and no Humphrey Bogart to stymie the SS or run Ric's Cafe
no Jimmy Stewart to stand up to banker Mr Potter
no Smedley Butler to say no to a coup or write the truth with honor
there is no JFK or MLK or even George Wallace or Welstone or John John
to shake up the status quo or rock the boat
we need the descendents of the greatest gen and those left
to reawaken
their courage and patriotism
and peacefully demand more and dream of more
peacefully refuse to grab one's ankles at airports
demand the stop to checkpoints and warrant less searches
accept jury duty and vote alternatives
insist on no tenured politicians
return water and all nullities and prisons to public control
pay for college and retraining not disability for drugs or alcohol abuse
and no
mfg or drug or lawyer or police immunities
and
no Congressional or any authority figure immunity or exemptions or separate pensions or medical care or benefits or rights
remember that life you protect may be yours or your families
that home you protect may be yours or your kid's or your mom's
and the peace and prosperity you protect
is your right
and
your duty
